Made $7,395 in a WEEK: First Black Friday Results!

Yea, you heard that right! I just made $7,395 in a WEEK because of the crazy Black Friday Sale!

And this hasn't include all the other recurring commissions. This $7.3K is solely from Black Friday sales.

I had a total of 59 Black Friday sales over the past week.

I was really surprised by this result because this is my first year promoting Wealthy Affiliate's Black Friday Offer.

Around this time last year, I just completed my 2-year full-time national service and didn't have a single source of passive income.

Fast forward one year, I not only built up my very first full-time 4-figure monthly passive income stream at just 21 years old, but I also managed to crush $7.4K in one week leveraging Black Friday.

Because of that, I'm expecting a 5-figure paycheck in January 2019.

But this post is not about me and I'm not here to brag. It's about YOU!

I've just proven to you what's possible of accomplishing in just one year's time if you are really serious about your business.

And by the way, Black Friday doesn't just apply to Wealthy Affiliate. Black Friday is one of the best annual events for all internet marketers of all kinds.

No matter which niche you're in, there will be a way for you to benefit and make great profit from Black Friday because during this period, most people are in what we called the "buyers mode" and people have their credit cards ready to purchase stuff.

You have around 1 year's time before Black Friday 2019 comes. I recommend you to set it as a 1 year goal for you.

The blog post I just mentioned is to dominate Google's SERP to get organic traffic.

On top of that, I recorded and published an YouTube video to dominate YouTube's SERP for my target keyword which is also relevant to my Black Friday promotion.

Similarly, I published the video one month before Black Friday.

Interestingly, both my video and blog post can be found at the top of Google's search results page when I search for my keyword :)

#4 WA Blog Post

Right before Black Friday started, I published a blog post within Wealthy Affiliate to inform my referrals within the community about the offer.

This only applies to WA promotion. If you're promoting other products in your niche, I recommend you to join relevant groups or forums way before Black Friday and try to become an authority within the group/forum.

The way to become an authority within a group is just to be active, share more and help more. Focus on genuinely providing values and your expertise.

This allows members in the group/forum to trust you more and pay more attention to you when you have something to share or promote.

(Make sure you check the group/forum's rule regarding personal promotion. Don't get yourself banned from the group because of spamming or breaking of their rules.)

#5 WA Private Message

I sent each of my Premium referral a Private Message within WA to inform them about the amazing Black Friday Offer.

Because I have hundreds of referrals, it took me a couple of hours to complete even though it's just copy and pasting the same message.

#6 Sidebar Banner

Prior to Black Friday, I shared with the community a custom sidebar banner I created myself to promote WA Black Friday:

That's the exact banner I put in my sidebar which I link to my Black Friday Blog Post (The landing page, remember?)

Again, I didn't link directly to my Black Friday affiliate link because I want to have that "bridge" and warm my prospects up first.

I'm not saying you can't directly put your affiliate link. You can still get sales that way. I just think the conversion rate will be higher when there's another landing page as a bridge.

Anyway, you can test things out to see which works best for you.

#7 Ribbon

A ribbon is something like this:

I set it in a way that it will appear when a reader scrolls through 20% of the page/post or when he/she decided to leave the page.

Whichever happens first, this ribbon will show up at the top of my website.

Again, the button links to my Black Friday Blog Post.

One thing I could do better is to add in the countdown timer earlier. I only remembered I should add a countdown timer when the Black Friday Offer is ending.

If I added in the countdown timer since the beginning, I'm guessing I may have gotten even more sales because a countdown timer in such situation is very powerful. It creates a sense of urgency for people to take action.

#8 Social Media

I created Instagram stories and publish my Black Friday video on Facebook as another way to promote it despite I don't have a huge following on social media.

This further shows that you don't need to have a huge following on social media or lots of YouTube subscribers to make money.

Those will definitely help a lot if you have them but they're not the ONLY way to go.

That's pretty much the things I've done for this year's Black Friday to get my results.

As you can see, these numbers don't just come in naturally or easily. I worked hard for it months before Black Friday.

I hope this post has given you some inspirations and ideas to move on with your business.
